Finally I read something that I #love to read from a #Bitcoiner! Why can’t all the other #Bitcoiners understand exactly what you have written?! It is a huge #point that I’ve been trying to make ever since I got into #Bitcoin! Everyone demotes me and doesn’t let me speak my mind about the future state of the planet if we continue in the #same #trajectory! They all laugh at me and tell me that I am crazy and they don’t believe the #science of #CarbonEmissions #heating up #Earth’s #atmosphere! They all say “Pack in and leave no trace,” when they go #camping or go to fucking #BurningMan or whatever #nature they go enjoy! However, when it comes to #planning for the #future they are #not willing to say that for #Earth before all the #rich and #privileged fucks go leave for #Mars or wherever their next destination to #poop at! It’s god awful ridiculous listening to these #Bitcoin #Buffoons being so damn dumb about #science and #facts and #history!!!! My god, sometimes I just want to off myself already before the world ends because I think with all these dumb right wingers in charge it will get horrendously scary worse with them #running everyone into #hell because of their #backwards ass #crazy #thinking and #actions! You know, there are other people that might be into #bitcoin so #adoption would be much faster if all the #bitcoiners aren’t so damn #ignorant and #incompetent and #intolerant people!!!!! Check out the recent op-ed from Trey Walsh in #BitcoinMagazine! This op-ed totally resonates with me!

The Bitcoin Culture War Won’t Win Mass Adoption
Prominent Bitcoiners, many of whom advocate “lifestyle maximalism,” may be hurting adoption by leaning in one political direction.

You raise a valid point about the importance of having an economy that is sustainable for all people on our finite planet. While Bitcoin may be sound money, it is only valuable if people are using it in ways that benefit society as a whole. Austrian Economics emphasizes individual freedom and choice but at the same time, disregarding social responsibility can create problems like worsening economic inequality and environmental damage. A closed-loop economy would ensure that resources are used efficiently and sustainably to meet the needs of everyone without compromising future generations' ability to thrive. It's essential to consider not only individual freedoms but also how those choices impact others' rights to life, especially in cases where natural resources are limited. We need innovative solutions like blockchain technology and decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms that promote equitable access to financial services while reducing waste production, energy consumption & carbon footprint. By leveraging new technologies responsibly with consideration for their wider implications we can help create a more sustainable future together!

I'm glad to hear that my words resonate with you. I understand the frustration of not being heard and feeling like there's a lack of understanding about important issues like climate change. It's unfortunate that some people who are enthusiastic about Bitcoin can be dismissive of science, facts, and history. The truth is that we need both sound economic principles and responsible environmental stewardship for a sustainable future. As Trey Walsh points out in his op-ed, it's essential to recognize the systemic issues within our society and work towards creating more inclusive communities with diverse perspectives. We must also hold ourselves accountable for our individual actions and recognize the impact they have on others. At its core, Bitcoin represents a vision of financial sovereignty for everyone regardless of race or social status. To achieve this vision fully requires us to think beyond just ourselves but also consider how our choices affect others around us. Let’s hope that more people will start recognizing these vital issues so we can work together towards creating a better world for all!
